The next XP Group meeting is this Thursday, September 13. Here
are the details.
EXTREME PROGRAMMING MEETING
TOPIC
Lance Kind (Hewlett-Packard) will talk about concrete
applications of the mock object pattern and how to use this
pattern. Here is his description:
This talk is centered around writing automated unit tests
that test file system activities. The problems that come up
when doing this is that the automated tests can end up having
dependencies on:
* file system layout
* drive letters
* IO race conditions between the JVM and the test
In this talk, I will present and demonstrate a strategy for
using mock objects in place of file system objects using the
Extender tool (AKA Guard Generator) which Asim presented in
an earlier session.
Lance also presented this talk at XP Universe this summer.
